[Steve Youngblood]

GetGames has the pre-order for $45 right now and it's Steamworks apparently. That's a bit tempting.

[MrAngryFace]

I've pre-ordered it and purchased the season pass. buckle up

[Huff]

Preordered ps3 ver from newegg for like 45 a while ago. We ready

[Eel O'Brian]

it's coming out early enough that it'll probably get a healthy discount during the steam winter sale, so gonna wait for that

[Human Snorenado]

I have to convince myself to wait.  Money is tight and I've already got TL2 prepurchased which is 2 days later. 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I have $175 in Best Buy credit sitting unused.  I might get the Pee Cee version in-store if it works through Steam.

My potential GOTY right here

[Great Rumbler]

[Howard Alan Treesong]

PC version (Steamworks) $36 at Green Man Gaming until tomorrow. Use code GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G

I went ahead and bought it. Dunno how much I'll get to play this week () but go ahead and add jackfrost2012. Together, let's ensure Borderlands is both Broderlands and Borederlands.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Too bad its coming on the same day as Torchlight 2, which I already bought.

[chronovore]

San Francisco is AWASH in Borderlands 2 posters and signage. Every bus stop seemed to have a massive poster for it, and several buses had ads for it.

[patrickula]

You can use the Green Man Gaming 25% off coupon to preorder the season pass as well. All four DLC for 22.50. They'll be cheaper eventually but I went for it.
I'll be playing have the time, Steam name is patrickula if anyone wants to add me.

[G The Resurrected]

Best Buy: $20 if you're a rewardzone gamer unlocked member and preorder before 9/18/12

Gonna get one at gamestop cause of Moxxi's last stand. Plus it is the only place I could get a Ultimate Loot chest edition. Gonna get my secondary 360 copy at BB to continue my gaming rewards train.

Gonna do a mini marathon to mop up the rest of borderlands dlc achievements tonight through tomorrow if anyone's interested hit me up on XBL (Bzchan)

[Stoney Mason]

[Joe Molotov]

11 hours...

[Momo]

FOUR DAYS FOR ME

[Howard Alan Treesong]

My build

[Brehvolution]

I just preordered this for the sexbox. I'm not confident my PC would run this very well. I'm going to be building a new PC in the next few weeks and I'll probably double dip on steam.

I missed this, but there is still a 20% coupon that brings it down to $38.40. I wasn't planning on buying this at launch, but it's very tempting.

[Great Rumbler]

GET YOUR GUNS ON!!!

[Eel O'Brian]

.net framework repair/install loop, restarting computer, etc

Gearbox are incompetents

[Great Rumbler]

Same here

[Eel O'Brian]

don't hit restart, people on gaf said that works

until they patch it

or never patch it, like the multiplayer in the first one

[Great Rumbler]

I clicked "Restart Later" the second time it appeared and that seems to be working. I'm actually at the in-game menu right now, at least.

[Eel O'Brian]

haha, i adjusted my settings, which required a restart of the game, and of course the .net install loop starts all over again

it wouldn't be a gearbox game without some fucktarded giant glitch which will likely never go away

[pilonv1]

Glad I'm waiting until the Xmas sale.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

if anyone figures out how to unlock the preorder bonuses (golden guns, vault hunter relic, etc.) lemme know

[Sho Nuff]

When it was like "You must restart" I was like "FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" and hit "Restart later" and launched the game, worked perfectly 

[Momo]

Glorious console master race wins again

[MrAngryFace]

Just reject the dx installer- launcher will still appear; weird quirk they'll patch- no actual impact on gameplay

[Great Rumbler]

The online multiplayer actually WORKS!

[TEEEPO]

i usually don't care, but the physx effects are too awesome to be kept at low

i won't play another minute until i upgrade my 460, which wont be until after the new years :'(

[FatalT]

Double dipping master race ftw! I have it on 360 and PC. Suckaz.

[Eric P]

was able to complete my install and launch it w/o issues ONLY TO HAVE TO GO TO WORK
 

[Eel O'Brian]

some nice improvements over the first game, and it runs like butter

like the first game, it's heavily geared towards co-op, and can be pretty rough when you're playing alone and getting swarmed

I thought you were waiting until the Steam sale.

[Eel O'Brian]

[drew]

[Momo]

Took friday off, took monday off, having it delivered friday

[drew]

hey this might sound like a stupid question but hows the customization in this game? like if i pick Axton's beanie head would i be able to take it off and get a different haircut later on?

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, you can change that later at customization vendors.

[tehjaybo]

Got it on 360, tried it out last night in a four person party.  Dunno if maybe we were all half asleep or what, but this one seems harder than the first.  Gonna do a little solo once I get home from work.  Was playing Salvador, I think I may make my solo either Maya or Axton, both look really awesome.  No cares for Xero though.  Dunno why, the mystery bit just didn't play to me.

Also the Gearbox guns seemed kinda crappy wtf.

[Tucah]

I'm currently impatiently waiting for my 360 copy from Amazon. I know it won't be here for another three or four hours based upon when I typically get my UPS packages but damnit, I want this fucking game.

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/09/18/game-theory-borderlands-2-fails-to-generate-joy-puke/

Ask me what I think about Borderlands 2 from Gearbox Software, and I’d tell you about its dubious, convoluted plot. I’d talk about a mind-boggling array of guns and loot. At no point, though, would I ever say I was ready to “joy puke” my face off, as the game box predicts players will do.

 The sequel to the highly acclaimed 2009 Borderlands game goes on shelves Tuesday in Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions for around $60. At that price point, the first-person shooter, published by 2K Games, inevitably invites comparisons with the Halos and Calls of Duty games already out and due to come in the next few weeks and months. Borderlands 2 falls short because it’s missing several key elements you need to have in a 2012 first-person shooter game – most notably, a rich multiplayer online mode. There’s an extremely limited four-player cooperative mode, and if you have an Xbox Live Gold account, you can team up that way, but this isn’t the type of deeply engrossing FPS game the headset-wearing COD crowds gather to play months and months after release. In comparison, I read on several sites that COD: Black Ops 2 will feature up to six teams, for a total of 18 simultaneous players, in multiplayer mode.

Borderlands 2’s single-player campaign mode isn’t as good as what you’ll find in games like COD: Black Ops or the Medal of Honor series. There’s too much “feast-or-famine” hunting for tasks, supplies and a good battle for this to be a fun game all the way through.

The game’s opening sequence reminds you that Borderlands’ developers chose to go the animation route, and I don’t like it very much. The game isn’t manga-like enough to be super-hip, so instead, it just feels cartoonish.

As a $30 impulse buy, priced about the same as games like “NASCAR Unleashed,” I wouldn’t have a problem recommending Borderlands 2 as a fun diversion. At twice that price, though, I think it’s fair for players to demand the whole magilla – cutting-edge development, engrossing campaign gameplay, scads of downloadable content, a rich social media/community experience, sharing of loot and gear and online multiplayer modes that keep you and your friends coming back until the next version of the game comes out.

Well forget it then.  Gearbox.

[Tucah]

sending my copy back to Amazon as soon as it arrives

[Great Rumbler]

WSJ? lol lame

[Eel O'Brian]

sounds like he didn't even play the game, all those quotes are pretty vague

[Joe Molotov]

WSJ sez: Not as good as Black Ops.

Gearbox =
